I hear the term mixologist isn’t a real thing used by bartenders. It’s just something someone made up to make themselves feel more important than a “regular bartender.” They give off the same vibe as wine tasting experts.

[@17143972290]

luca kropf yeah idk if you saw on the shelf in the back was a shelf full of Bombay

[@GrievingDeadly]

Bombay S is pretty good and it’s not abrasive as other Gins, so mixing it works wonders when you’re trying to hit a distinct flavor. Pick a recipe that tries to highlight a particular aspect of the drink and make it twice, one with Tanqueray and the other with Bombay S. I’m not saying it’s the best tasting but in the sense of mixing, you can’t go wrong :)

The comments about just a beer or how overly complicated this is are so annoying. It'd be like watching a video with a chef making a complicated meal and commenting that you just want some McDonalds.
